Thank you Old Yellow and dorset lad for the pm's . Mr B Smith from Elmswell kindly came and picked the pigeon up today . He has promised to look after it .He said it was not strong enough to make it back to Holland . Kind regards to you all . Andy

I would have done that already but have no local contacts . Andy

spoken to the owner in holland . Thank you redcheqhen. He said it is a young long distance pigeon was released in France two weeks ago . He said it would find it's way home ok and he will let us know when it returns . So will put him/her in garden maybe tomorrow and see if it wants to fly off ? Andy

Have got bird seed from sainsbury's . It seems happy in its box but surely it needs some daylight ? No-one got any contacts for a pigeon fancier in Bury St. Edmunds ? There is supposed to be a racing club based here but I can't find any address or contact details on the net . Andy

tried the dutch phone number given above ,but there's no answer . Possibly because its sunday ? need advice on how to keep it comfy . Or is it safe to let it fly off now ?

"this bird will be a fancy show pigeon,it may be regestered with the national pigeon association.lots of show pigeons are bought from holland,germany and spain.they are then regestered to the npa.contact a guy called greame giddings.the pigeon will have come from a loft near to where you found it. " The NPA website says don't bother contacting them if there's no NPA ring on the bird ? anyone got contacts for a pigeon man near Bury St . Edmunds ? Andy

Yup suffolk ;-) how the heck did it find it's way to cambourne ,cambridge . found it there this morning at work . Looked very sorry for itself and followed us around on building site . I drive excavators and had to put it in the back of my cab as it was walking around near my tracks . sat quite happily in the back window while I was working . Door was open so it could have flown off if it wanted . Ended up putting it in a box in my van with some water and food . By the time I got back to Bury st Edmunds it had perked up . Have checked the wings and nothing I can see , guessed the NL was netherlands after looking on here . what do i do with it ? My two cats would love me to keep it :-) but cute as it is 2 cats 2 tortoises and 2 African snails is about our limit . Andy

Hi I have found a pigeon today . Have absolutely no idea about pigeons . The only id I can see is a red tag on leg with NL 2012 1567811 Any ideas ? have fed and watered it and it has perked up now . No idea how to keep it so will leave it in my shed for the time being . Andy
